Holiday Gift Guide 2013: Spirits

Spirits are surprisingly smart gifts: Better bottles boast beautiful design, they're easily shared among friends and family, they come in a range of sizes from minis to magnums, and hapless procrastinators can always pick up a bottle on December 24 if push comes to shove. But rather than purchase something classic or familiar, we suggest you blow boozers' minds with something new. Our holiday-approved list below includes a gin, a vodka, a whisky, a tequila, a cognac, and a scotch to please all palates.

In a world full of heinous doughnut- and marshmallow-flavored spirits, it's easy to become jaded. But then something so much more unforgivably wrong is willed into existence and it makes you realize that you've actually had it good until now. Ivanabitch Menthol Tobacco Vodka tastes like stale Easter chocolate with mint and tobacco flavoring, and it tops the list of this year's best worst gift ever.$13
